Maybe Person of Interest was an underwatched show. But the setup of for this season sounds like the exact same setup of of the last season of Person of Interest. Is anyone else seeing this?

I’m mostly talking about the choice of who to push forward. I think the Vulture piece was in many ways more balance and thought it would lead to more people approaching Ortiz’s work and given it a bigger audience. I understand that Russell’s been working on a book for years, but it sounds like it crystalized into…

Kind of to the detriment of a lot of movies, so I hear. Lulu Wang said in an interview about the Farewell, that producers are still looking for that Big Fat Greek Wedding aesthetic and they were pushing her toward more broad eccentric characters in her movie. She pushed back and won, but alluded to a number of, for…

Why did you choose to speak with Russel and not Ortiz about this? Hasn’t Russell admitted that she read Ortiz’s book and then wrote a white version of it. If so, isn’t all the depth that you are mining for in the interview, someone else’s?

The more I see Oprah, the more I feel like her point now is to make white people not feel bad about themselves. Like there is obvious legitimate criticism all around the books and in it. From the text, to the art, to the marketing, to the publishing. Oprah could come right out and say the whole thing was a failed…

More housing reduces housing prices. If you want to see the sun, go to florida.

If Woody needs to be heard, all he needs to do is put up a Medium post.

The way he says it though, and the way he paused when working through it with Army guys makes the whole thing feel tongue in cheek, or at least like there’s another layer to what he’s saying. The original script didn’t have any of that, and its just kind of tossed in there.  There’s no arc to it, suddenly he just…

Indy isn’t a skeptic in Raiders. He is definetey more open to the supernatural than any history professor would be and temple explains that.

I agree, Takeshi Prime is far and away the most interesting actor that is Takeshi. 

I think both points are fair to spool out. We have seen abuse of power with roles reversed, but who knows how pervasive it is. Female abuse against men may be even less reported than the other way around.

I think he just can’t rise above bad material. He’s been pidgeonholed as a type of actor where you can see the restraint/weariness in his stillness which overcomes pure dullness, which works in Altered Carbon, Hurt Locker and sometimes in the MCU, but if the writing/direction doesn’t give him a reason to feel weary or…

Temple of Doom was the Spielberg divorce movie, he literally had hearts ripping out of it. The characters were actually more fully developed than they were in raiders, with Indy going from tomb raider to the man he eventually becomes in Raiders of the lost arc.

I think you mean Frakenstein’s monster’s law.

Good piece

Isn’t Sanders the one that explained how he would pay for it. He’s the one that said raise taxes, which backed her into the corner by pete and biden, to explain how she would do the same.  He was being honest and she flipped from hiding the ball to being open.  That’s noble but its also her fault.  I voted for Warren,…

We’ve leaned too heavily on the Bernie Bro thing. We’ve been able to see the light that gamergate was about a very small number of people spamming. But with Bernie, people seems to have trouble understanding that.

It’s weird to say that 20 year old pete is grappling with a version of masculinity that has been dying for 20 years now. Especially Pete, who’s always sharply at odd angles and pushing back against that sort of thing.

Pete and Chasten shared Scotch eggs on their first date—that’s a hardboiled egg wrapped in sausage—which for anyone with their ear tuned to the right frequency, dog-whistles that neither would be bottoming that night.

I think they want that exactly. Mostly the problem with the 20 year olds is that they don’t know what they want and are all influencers. This leads to a bunch of bland girls being very basic to avoid doing real harm to their brands, and not really having any life experiences besides modeling and pageantry to bring to t…
